The very small sprite sheet so far of the character, named Random.

A short animation from the few sprites. You can ignore the background, I just put it in because white felt empty.

And here's some concept art of the character for comparison.
The trouble I'm having is that I'm not really sure how I can make his legs move smoothly into walking from the standing pose. I'm also not sure how to add the pipe into the sprite without it looking like crap-- it is quite important, by the way. Any help with that and even critique on what I have up here would be nice.
